Will you step out of your comfort zone, help your fellow society members, and master something new Learn how to set up the Zoom and Owl equipment, open a Zoom meeting, keep attendance, and sign off at the end of our hybrid meetings.  It really is simple once you have done it a couple of times.  Our new Zoom hosts will be paired with an experienced host, so you will never be alone. The society usually only has one to three hybrid classes a month. When we have a larger group of Hosts, the time commitment is minimal.

In the next few months, we will be training new Zoom hosts and offering a refresher class for Zoomers who are nervous about being a host or co-host. We want to continue to offer hybrid classes and need a full cohort of Zoom Hosts to make that possible.  Join us.  Email volunteer@RVGSlibrary.org for details. Be a part of your RVGS' success.

This group meets every Friday at a different member business at 8:15 AM (and on the 4th Thursday of the month they meet at 5:15 PM.)  RVGS would love to have someone attend at least one Greeters meeting each month, to share what’s upcoming at RVGS, make our rack cards available, and answer any questions.  It is a great opportunity to learn about Ashland (and other nearby) businesses, including other nonprofits.  It is fun to showcase our upcoming classes, seminars, interest groups, and free programs. 

Learn more about the RVGS Library's hidden treasures by volunteering to be a librarian.  No experience necessary.  Training will be provided.  There are three-hour shifts 10 AM to 1:00 PM available (if we are able to recruit enough volunteers to expand our open hours.)  There are always two librarians on duty.
